FORGET IT.
Any weakling can whine over de
feat and failure. It takes grit and
pluck and, all the real stuff of which
thoroughbreds are made to come up
smiling" after defeat or failure and
bear no ill will but f ace the new day
cheerfully. There is nothing lovely
or to be admired m the person who
whines and nurses a grudge. It is
one of the most unlovely traits that
human beings ever manifest.
Get away from it. It will blister
and warp the soul as few things on
earth have the power to do. Each
day is a new day that has never been
spent.
Let the following from one of Dr.
Frank ' Crane's essays grip you and
set your feet on the firm rock:
"It's-pver now. It's done. Forget
it. "
"Dont forever be raking it up,
thinking it over, wishing you had done
it differently. J

Tomorrow's alive, pregnant with

Turn to it! -
"Forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things whinh are before', is the
way one of the greatest souls of
earth described his attitude.
"For the past is dead. The future
is life. .
"From the past come up the mias

ON THEL OPEN ROAD.
,A resolution adopted at the conven-j

Roads Association at Asheville last
week declares that all drivers of
motor vehicles should be made to
take out a State license to show fit.

that lfcense should ba revoked) j to
case of speeding.
, -Every"" genslble1-person who' has
opportunity to observe at all knows
how badly State 'license for auto
'drivers it needed. So many drivers
are reckless that it is a wonder more

knowing what to be afraid of. The
person who boasts that he is not afraid
,to let his ear out to the limit and pass
other vehicles 'at racing speed is
just advertising the fact that he is
a plain fool.
Besides showing ability to handle
an auto, a licence ought to
contain a provision that ability must
be coupled with a solemn pledge to
observe the ordinary courtesies of
the) road.- Some ordinarily careful

FOR MIDWIVES
Coespondence of The Robesonian.
The reason for calling the Indian
and colored midlives to meet in Lum.
berton on the same day, was for the
purpose of classifying them by name.
The record of names in this office
were so confused, that it was impos
sible to separate them, without having
th" neonle here.
However, in view of the fact that
there seems to be some misunder
standing in regard to this meeting, a
meeting will be held tomorrow for col
ored midwives; a meeting one week la
ter, June 29th, 3 p. m. for Indian mid
wives, and a meeting Monday, July
5t'i for white midwives.
The purpose of these meetings is to
srive the midwives further instruc
tions, and permits to continue practice.
